What did studies of crossfit training find?

3

Studies of crossfit training measured 3 outcomes: serum lipids, myostatin and OMENTIN1.

Serum lipids

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Crossfit training decreases serum lipids in humans (concurrent with astaxanthin supplementation).

    “reduced anthropometric and metabolic factors and also serum lipid levels”

Myostatin

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Crossfit training decreases myostatin in humans (alone or with astaxanthin supplementation, compared with control group) (p = 0.0001 vs control).

    “reduced activin A, MST, and TGF-β1 were other affirmative responses to both interventions.”

OMENTIN1

1 study
  1. Crossfit training increases OMENTIN1 in humans (compared with astaxanthin alone (SG) in males with obesity).
